Good morning. This is your reminder to get to the gym so that you can beat up racists if you have to.

WE DON'T TALK ENOUGH ABOUT THIS. Our talent pool is the deepest because our players don't play for a salary in our minor leagues. And no, NIL isn't the same.

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑 Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for. We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

You ever miss a bridge? And my current town has a bridge! Well a rr bridge, but it's a nice one

Humans need other human beings to survive. I'm sorry that this makes some people lose their shit but it's one of the key truths of life.

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

If you’re anxious about the aurora because “we didn’t use to have the Northern Lights this far south,” don’t be! The sun’s just doing a normal solar cycle like usual. We just now have cameras in our pocket that can detect aurora, and social media to spread the word to get out looking!

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

Reading "Guards Guards" again and... It hits a lot closer to home than previous reads.

I’ll say this much: This reads exactly like what it is: people who discovered romance five years ago and decided they had all kinds of amazing new ideas to “fix” it. Connections between books? That feel kind of cozy to the reader? How did no one ever think of that?? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/b...

Dear neighbors, Please stop burning your yards down Sincerely, My lungs

I hope everybody who even *thinks* about suggesting we go back to the high-risk healthcare pool situation is diagnosed with a pre-existing condition tonight.

Introducing our #OreCup winner and IMA Ore Mineral of the Year, #COPPER!

Current* conditions near Isle Royale NP, MI:

⚒️🧪 The Wandan mud volcano in southern Taiwan erupted again yesterday (12/11/25)! The eruption occurred at 3 vents. Sadly one vent was under a house. This is its 11th eruption in the last ~3 years, most recently in June 2025. Video courtesy of my friends 陳玉意 and 張寶惠. Best with sound on.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Thinking a lot about how poorly our brains recognize long term subtle changes, like climate change or biodiversity loss. We've lost something like 1 out of every 4 individual birds in the US since 1970, more for some species. There should be at least 25% more birds around you right now.

I may have come up with the term Justice Aquarium but graphic design is my passion 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It’s almost time. nocontractnocoffee.org

Holy crap! Aurora borealis in Sacramento!

Just unreal, it will never get old. I feel like I just feel more awe every time. #aurora

Submit them to Aurorasaurus!!! They're an NSF funded project out of University of New Mexico that takes crowdsourced aurora observations for research purposes: www.aurorasaurus.org

Second of three aurora threads. This is the second substorm I viewed from Columbus Ohio USA. By the time this one started, the clouds had started to blow away, so we got better looks. Saying "we" because for the first time every I wasn't watching them alone! 9:30-10:30PM local time, 11 Nov 25 1/8

This is a high quality 🧵

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere. ❤️☀️ The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

Yo. Coffee is a bean. Vanilla is a bean. Soy milk comes from beans. So a Vanilla Soy Latte is just 3 bean soup. Right? RIGHT?

Perhaps one of the best things about aurora photos is everyone has a different view of it, and so all the images are unique and, to me, that makes them all amazing. It also feels like aurora sort of flattens the otherwise steep astrophotography curve.

Found a hole in the clouds in Columbus Ohio just now! Please do not ask how fast I drove and sprinted to get here

The sky is fuzzzzy! These are the best #NorthernLights I've seen in Illinois. Yes these are mostly 1 second "exposures", but I could see so much with my bare eyes! It's soooooo cooooool!!!!

Central Illinois go outside and look north #northernLights

"dinner first or cake first?" Lots of waffling "Flip a coin?" "I got it! odds cake, evens dinner"

I can currently afford air conditioning and ice. Folks in my county die every summer because they can't. Yeah mostly older folks and unhoused folks, so what?

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

One more skeet for Edmund Fitzgerald Day. Behind this historical marker is the famed Whitefish Bay. Today the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Paradise, Mich., rang the recovered bell 31 times, 29 for the victims of the wreck, once for all Great Lakes shipwreck victims, and once for Gordon Lightfoot.

Everyone's full-time job this week is to scream at every D senator you have. Because this still CAN be stopped.

Remember this godforsaken story the next time the police or their fanbase whine about limits on vehicle pursuits

If you feel earthquake shaking or receive an earthquake alert, drop down to the ground, take cover underneath a sturdy object like a table, and hold on until all the shaking has stopped. youtu.be/xlWgxSnVcwU

Vote cooper It'll always be there for you and you'd hate to let it down

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Copper is my first love girl next door Molybdenite is that sexy smart coworker You know which one is the best choice Vote cooper

And even *if* standing with trans people is a liability, do it anyway. Invest in changing hearts and minds if you must. We’re worth fighting for. Our rights and lives and wellness and joy are worth it

Welp, my on site analyst reported that it was snowing last night

When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)
